Imagine what it would be like today, with Linus, at the end:“OK, I’m calling Star 69, will IMMEDIATELY find out where you are, and report you to the authorites!” or, “I’m looking at my caller ID as I speak, and you give me this obscene phone call, and I see your number, so the minute I hang up, I’m calling the authorites! And BOY, will you be SORRY!” Also, Sally, just because Linus is willing to spend SOME quality time with you, doesn’t qualify him to be your boyfriend, or “Sweet Babboo,” as you would always put it. Makes you wonder where Schulz came up with the made-up term of endearment, “babboo,” since there is no such word, of course. Still, Peanuts was and still is, the best comic strip, worldwide.

It also just hit me, that this could have been Linus’ “Friday The 13th” prank, or stroke of bad luck, for the day, receiving an obscene phone call, and back BEFORE the days of easy-call tracing; Sally sure has him looking PETRIFIED, at the end, as she wishes something TERRIBLE to happen to him, or hopes that it will, anyway.

…Or he’s having a nervous breakdown because he doesn’t have hid blanket. Y’know, like he has done every other time it’s gone.
